"There are as many people who like you, so don't take it to heart." Li Xiang comforted Xu Zitong.

Seeing so many people mocking him, Xu Zitong felt a little depressed.

He forced a smile and said, "I sighed a little, but I didn't expect that so many people would hate me. I thought that even if I was not popular, I would at least not annoying."

Li Xiang: "The main reason is that you are weak. If you are strong enough, no one will mock you. Even if you still don't like it in your heart, at least they won't jump out to sarcasm."

Xu Zitong nodded and said, "So I want to become stronger and shut up those who look down on me."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Not only should they shut up, but they should also admit that they are blind."

Xu Zitong: "Thank you, Li Xiang, I feel much better when you say that."

"That's good, to be honest, you're much better than Dou Dou."

“…”

Zhao Qiran and Zheng Yushi also came not long after. The group came to the three-story red brick building next to the studio and talked to the landlord about the rental.

Since the three of them wanted to open a studio, they had to have an office location, so they gave priority to the red brick building next to Li Xiang's studio. This was once the location of various associations in the university town, but later moved out and it was idle. It gradually became a gathering place for some independent musicians. The atmosphere was quiet and the rent was relatively cheap.

However, because of Li Xiang's arrival, the popularity of this place increased sharply and the rent increased a lot. For Li Xiang's sake, the landlord gave the three a lot of discounts.

Xu Zi and the three of them jointly rented a three-story building for a period of 5 years.

The three of them are not as good as Li Xiang, and they can only join the group to keep warm for the time being. This is the most practical and economical way.

On the one hand, their careers are just starting out. To be safe, they will first set up the studio; on the other hand, they don’t have that much money, and the rent is just a small amount, and the greater expense lies in the purchase of recording equipment, as well as personnel and office funds.

Although Zhao Qiran and Zheng Yushi released albums, the contract they signed was not as good as Li Xiang at the beginning, and the proportion of revenue was lower, and the sales of the albums were not as good as Li Xiang, so the income they received was naturally much worse.

After signing the lease, Zhao Qiran and Zheng Yushi left, and they had other things to do. Xu Zitong followed Li Xiang to the studio, and their newly written songs were still being recorded.

I have recorded it more than ten times before, mainly for running-in. The chorus is not a matter of 11=2, but to strive for >2.

The two have never sang a chorus before, and musical literacy is no problem, but many details have to be pondered over and over again.

Xu Zitong's voice is relatively low, with difficulty in mid-tone and no high-tone, so he is suitable for singing minor songs like folk songs.

Li Xiang's mid-bass sound is very good, and the treble is also practicing, and the sound quality is clear. As the body develops more maturely, there is a more rustling texture in the sound.

Such two different sounds need to be coordinated well and need to be constantly adjusted.

When the seventh time was recorded, the recording engineer made an OK gesture outside the glass room. Li wanted to take off the headset and said to Xu Zitong, who also took off the headset, "I think this time is OK."

Xu Zitong: "I think too, then that's it?"

"good."

“That’s great.”

The two came out of the recording studio, and the recording engineer immediately said: "This time is very good, there are no flaws, it's OK."

"Tell us." Li Xiang said.

The recording engineer immediately released the new song he had just recorded, and the volume was enlarged, and the sound of Li Xiang and Xu Zitong singing chorus immediately sounded in the recording studio.

After listening to it, everyone was very satisfied. Xu Zitong said, "I haven't arranged the music yet, let me do it."

He felt that Li Xiang was helping him record this song. He had helped him enough, so he could do the remaining arrangements well, so that Li Xiang could spare time to do his own thing.

Now Li Xiang is releasing a new album, so he should be the busiest.

Li Xiang was completely unlucky, so he left the recording studio after a few words of advice. In the office, Wang Yinzhen reported to him about the latest sales of the new album in the week.

The album sales of "Sister Li and Miss Li" just exceeded 1 million last week. For other singers, this is a very dazzling result, but for Li Xiang, it is much lower than expected.

The fifth week just passed, and sales rebounded sharply, reaching 1.61 million copies!

More than 1.52 million copies in the second week.

In total, sales of nearly 7 million copies in five weeks, which is three times that of platinum records.

At the same time, the title song "You, the Deskmate" dominated the top 100 Yuefu Music list for the fifth consecutive week!

The new album was released on June 1st. Five weeks have passed and the summer vacation is coming. It is the graduation season. "You, the Deskmate" is very suitable. According to statistics from Yuefu Music Source website, the number of views of this song on campus is the highest, and many students play and sing on their own with a guitar.

A group of senior students from Forestry University have also graduated. During this period, Li Xiang walked on campus and often saw students wearing bachelor's uniforms walking together in groups of three or three, taking photos in every corner of the campus.

At the senior year graduation party, the school invited Li Xiang to sing on stage and send blessings to the seniors and sisters.

"Then let's have the last song, what do you want to hear? I'll sing it to you."

Li Xiang stood on the stage, facing the dark auditorium full of senior graduates, and said with a breath.

Li Xiang was the finale for tonight's graduation party. He had just sang "Sunny Day", "Snail", and "Short Paper Love".

The original plan was to sing these three songs, but he shouted loudly on the spot, so Li Xiang sang another song "You, the deskmate" everyone ordered. When it was about to end, the shouting sound was even louder, and I hope he sang another song.

Before leaving university and entering society, they wanted to listen to Li Xiang's last song quietly.

Li Xiang looked at the principal in the audience. The principal nodded with a smile and signaled that there was no problem. At the same time, the voice of the director of the party came from his headphones, saying that Li Xiang would decide whether to sing or not.

"Seniors, the last song, which song do you want to hear?"

There were shouts everywhere, and everyone had the song they wanted to listen to, and they could not agree on it.

The director spoke in the headphones again, asking Li to choose one to sing himself, otherwise tonight's party would not end.

"Then let's sing the last song "Hello Tomorrow" from the new album. I wish you a bright future and all the best."

"Hello Tomorrow" is a song included in the album "Sister Li and Miss Li".

Look at us yesterday

Waiting in the center of the Plaza destiny

Li Xiang sang a few lines, and the voice of singing suddenly became louder, and everyone seemed to be singing in the entire auditorium.

Li Xiang's voice was wrapped in the torrent of sound. Although his voice was the biggest and he sang the best, the emotions contained in every word and sentence were definitely not as good as many people on the scene, because they were singing in the song.

Singing in unison:

That blurry shoulder

The more you run, the smaller you become

A partner who once moved forward side by side

After raising a glass to wish you all the time

It's just that night

I'm keeping it deep in my heart

...

Li Xiang stood on the stage and stopped singing at some point. He just watched the people below the stage quietly and listened to them singing loudly. Many people had bright eyes, either with stars or tears.

At this moment, he is not the protagonist, they are.

Li Xiang silently handed the stage to them.
Chapter completed!
